The preserved remains of a debauched pirate city and a notorious vagabond's ships are slowly disintegrating into the sea.
In his new book the Atlas of Vanishing Places: The Lost Worlds As They Were And As They Are Today, writer Travis Elborough investigates how parts of the globe are shrinking, including a city dubbed the 'underwater Pompeii'.
The author records how climate change is ravaging parts of the natural world, causing rivers and rainforests to shrink at an alarming rate, from the Congo Basin to the Everglades and the Dead Sea.
